When in the HE11 will I get a Presidential candidate who has the GONADS to do what's RIGHT!!! As it is the rich are getting richer... you have BILLION dollar companies that get away with paying NO TAXES... and the POOR continue to receive ENTITLEMENT dollars!!! The only people getting SCREWED are those of us MIDDLE INCOME AMERICANS who have a spouse that also has to work just to MAKE ENDS MEET!!! We are the ones who HAVE TO PAY OUR TAXES, HAVE TO PAY FULL COLLEGE TUITION, HAVE TO PAY OUTRAGEOUS MEDICAL EXPENSES and are continually SCREWED by BOTH SIDES OF THE ISLE!!! GIVE ME A BETTER CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS!!!

Hot off the ESPN Cleveland Wire... Holmgren is G-O-N-E and will be replaced by JOE BANNER (former Eagles Pres)... but the new Owner will retain Heckert and Shurmur who at one point worked for BANNER. On the bright side, Banner has 18 years of Pres experience... So long MIKE!!!

rwbbowg - "I know that the Cavs plan is a solid one" Not to criticize too much 'rwb' exactly what is that 'solid plan'??? Let's do what OKC 'a' or is 'doing'? I don't know about you but I don't see the Cav's with a player at KD's caliber!?!? Irving may be a slight bit better than Westbrook but that's sill just 1 player! Yes, the Cav's have some talent but is the 'solid plan' another hope for the 2013 Lottery??? Grant HAS to make a move for a GOOD YOUNG TALENT in the FA market or attendance is going to start do drop... dramatically!!! It's starting to appear that Dan G. is willing to accept 'mediocrity' in light of spending too much cash!!! I certainly hope that isn't the case... only time will tell!!!

Bayarea... typical 'under achiever' who comments how 'smart and knowledgeable' they are, yet are always late for their job at 'Jiffylube'!!! Had you been in office during the 2008 economic collapse, it never would have happened... had you been consulted during the early 2000 Brown's drafts, we'd be celebrating our 2nd or 3rd Superbowl win... You just gotta love the narcissism that comes from some people on this blog...

THANK GOD!!! I was worried there for a minute that the Cleveland fans might upset the millionaire and he would want to take his talents to 'South Beach'!!! Luckily, they gave him a standing ovation so he feels welcome!!! The LAST thing you hard working, middle class, tax paying citizens want to ever do is upset an overpaid, immature man who gets to play a game and earn millions of dollars doing it!!! You people better get your priorities straight!!!

I'd put money on the Cavs making the playoffs next year... they are poised to pick-up 2 rookie starters to go along with Irving and maybe Thompson. Regardless what many of Cleveland's 'Heat' fans think, there are plenty of Free Agents who would LOVE to be on a team that will be as young as the Cavs will be with all that talent... I would say it will be the Cavs turn to soon say, "Not 1, Not 2, Not 3 or 4..."

Finally... a comment I can 'WHOLE HEARTILY' agree with!!! You 'Weeden Wagon Fans' ought to do your home work! Weeden was a 26 YEAR OLD JUNIOR before he earned a starting job at Oklahoma! He was a MAN in his PRIME playing against kids just beginning their careers!!! He was successful because of who they played and his O-Line!!! Under pressure... he would 'BLOW IT' time and time again!!! Mark my words, 'WEEDEN WILL BE A COLOSSAL FAILURE' and Holmgrem has seen his last draft as a member of the Cleveland Browns...

Okay now... where can I pick-up MY MONEY??? Seeing as they have 4 kids, are on Food Stamps and odds are the $100.00 he took came from MY TAX DOLLARS as well... I'll ask again... where can I pick-up MY MONEY!!! I'm kinda sick and tired of people having child after child when they have NO JOB and NO WILLINGNESS TO WORK!!!

For the life of me... I cannot grasp how an NFL team would waste a pick, 1st round, 2nd round, or even 3rd round, on a 28 year old college quarterback?!?!? Are you people serious or just looking for reactions like this? That being said, I believe Tannehill will develop into a top notch quarterback over the next couple of years if drafted by the right team... but Weeden?!?! He'll be in his early 30's by the time he's ready to take over... so you get what... 3 years out of him?

I find it hard to believe that H & H DO NOT want to win a championship like so many Browns' fans believe... Wouldn't it be in THEIR best interest to build the Browns into a championship caliber team? Do you really believe they are secretly wringing their hands and laughing at all the negative publicity bestowed upon them by the 'shock jock radio heads' (who could never coach an NFL team) and the fans (who also could never coach an NFL team)? I was just reading the 'Washington Post' where they've been VERY active in free agency and moving-up to swipe RGIII and can't believe their are fans casting their venom on how stupid their owner is.... First by giving-up so much to get an unproven, second best quarterback in the draft and second for spending so much money in FA for second tier wide-receivers!!! They (the fans) claim the only way to build a true CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM is through the DRAFT with MULTIPLE PICKS... and here we have H & H doing just that... SOMEONE HAS TO BE WRONG?!?! I guess once again, only time will tell...

5 years nothing... he's got 2, maybe 1 and 1/2 tops!!! By that time, Irving will need to be playing with the guys deemed 'Cleveland's Future' or it will NEVER HAPPEN!!! If the 'Future Players' are not in place by Summer 2013, Cleveland will forever be in the 'Rebuilding Process' until another 'Miracle' falls in their lap!!! Let's hope C.G. and D.G. make the right moves over the coming 18 to 24 months... otherwise... well, there's always the 'Browns'...

Just got home from work and am learning about this shooting... That being said, your reporting (PD) on this story seems pretty haphazard to say the least! An informative, well written article that explains today's events in one central location would be very helpful... instead, I am left to try an 'piece-meal' this story together based on 'blue, highlighted captions' broken down into incoherent ramblings! I understand the event itself is a tragedy, but providing us 'readers' with the ability to understand what took place today beginning at 7:30 a.m. in a well organized, coherent writing would help us to understand the tragedy that unfolded!

'browns...' damn dude, I remember that headline from the newspaper some 35+ years ago about the Cav's winning a game out in Richfield... I was just a kid but I think I even cut the damn article out of the paper!!!

You said it 'Browns'... hell, take my tax money and FORCE these welfare leaches to get an abortion!!! I can hardly afford to send my kids to college and the misses and I both work FULL-TIME!!! Yet they take 33% of MY INCOME to make sure the UNDERPRIVILEGED are completely cared for!!! I'm SICK of it... PLEASE... take my tax dollars and FORCE these women to get an ABORTION!!! NO COMPLAINTS HERE!!!

"kjk54"... RIGHT-ON!!! But it's not about being a 'MINORITY'... it's about being an 'IMMIGRANT'!!! You see, due to my 'Hispanic' heritage, I can be considered a 'minority' however, I am SO MUCH MORE than that! You see, I am one of those "IDIOTS" that served my country in the United States Marine Corps, went to a community college, earned a degree, met and married my wife, had 3 children, and WORKED FULL-TIME for the past 25 YEARS (as does my wife) only to PAY so much in TAXES to help the 'LESS FORTUNATE' and 'IMMIGRANTS' that "I CAN'T AFFORD TO SEND MY CHILDREN TO COLLEGE, and PAY A MORTGAGE' so I am FORCED INTO FORECLOSURE SO THEY CAN GIVE MY HOUSE TO SOME IMMIGRANT 'FOR FREE'!!!!!!! And all this is being done WITH MY TAX DOLLARS!!!!!! THERE IS SOMETHING TOTALLY SICK ABOUT THIS PICTURE!!!!! I will write my Congressman and Senator IMMEDIATELY (not that it will do any good) to VOICE MY DISPLEASURE!!!!! If you would help the HARDWORKING, MIDDLE-CLASS AMERICANS the way you help the WEALTHY and LOWER-CLASS, maybe these homes WOULDN'T BE VACANT!!!! Maybe WE could AFFORD A COLLEGE EDUCATION FOR OUR CHILDREN!!!! But this system is SO DAMNED SLANTED AGAINST US!!!! My wife and I would be better-off to QUIT OUR JOBS AND LIVE OFF THE SYSTEM like so many of these so called 'LESS FORTUNATE'!!!! Then our children could attend college FOR FREE and the government will give me a HOME, FOR FREE!!!! My freeloading 20-something year-old brother-in-law says people who WORK are IDIOTS... AND I'M STARTING TO BELIEVE HIM!!!!!
